Description

Dental bleaching liquid and the using method thereof harmless to enamel
Technical field
The present invention relates to dental bleaching liquid and method of bleaching tooth.More particularly, the present invention relates to place in the dens supporter or be attached on the patient's tooth not damaging under the enamel situation of patient's tooth to produce blast, brighten viscosity dental bleaching liquid with clean effect.
Background technology
The medical skill that brightens vital tooth and devital tooth with peroxide is known more than 40 years.From the mankind itself, human teeth patterning and color are varied.The color of human teeth common adularescent, black, Lycoperdon polymorphum Vitt, brown and yellow.Environment, nutrition, medical treatment and diet can influence the color of tooth.Some food such as Pericarpium Citri tangerinae, the fruit of Cranberries, coffee ﹠ tea can change the primitive color of tooth a lot.Other custom as long-term smoking or chewing tobacco can make people's tooth blackening.Tetracycline and other medicine have the blackening of making it to tooth or become the effect of ash.The child that phenolics was taken the women 's fertility of tetracycline has the tooth of permanent pollution usually.Tetracycline pollutes on tooth can produce obvious clumsy striped.
Along with economic level and growth in the living standard, people are to the increase in demand of the pure white tooth of light.In developing country and developed country, the outward appearance of people's tooth can be to its social status, and inter personal contact and job opportunity produce positive or negative influence.In general, white tooth is more welcome than black tooth tooth.Because tooth is white more, welcome more usually, so designed many materials that make people's teeth whitening with chemical method.
The chemical substance that can make us accepting that is generally used for whitening teeth now is a peroxide.Peroxide is known in the industry as oxidant and very high reactivity is arranged.The luminous reflectance of specific wavelength is returned the normally very complicated molecule of organic molecule of our eyes.We are called dyestuff and pigment with these colorful substance usually.These organic dyestuff and pigment oxidation can be damaged its light-absorbing ability usually, thereby it presents white.For example, with hydrogen peroxide the brown pulp bleaching is become white wood pulp in the paper-making industry.
Preferably use peroxide as brightener for tooth, because consider from physiological angle, they are usually than other oxidant safety.Select as the peroxide of teeth whitening to be: hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide, sodium perborate and mistake (two) sodium carbonate.When these peroxide contacted suitably with tooth, they can make tooth present white the organic pollution oxidation of tooth inner surface and outer surface usually.On the contrary, peroxide can not influence inorganic pollution usually.For the people who belongs to the inorganic pollution tooth, use peroxide not have whitening effect usually.But most in the world people can both play whitening effect to tooth by using peroxide.
Be essentially human and accepted because peroxide is used for teeth whitening, so designed the method for many application peroxide bleachings.A kind of application process is that the aqueous solution with peroxide directly is coated on the tooth.Using the problem of the aqueous solution of peroxide is its too rare or easy loss.This will cause it to be lost to from tooth on the soft tissue in oral cavity owing to action of gravity.The peroxide meeting twinge soft tissue of high concentration causes serious discomfort to the patient.The aqueous solution of peroxide is coated in method " indoor " method normally on people's tooth, because the most basic difficulty of patient is to be difficult to it is applied on the tooth of oneself.In most of the cases, in the entire process process, patient's lip will painfully shrink, and is limited to be sitting on the dental chair.When using peroxide and water liquid lime chloride, usually exist peroxide contacts soft tissue with liquid lime chloride outflow tooth danger.
In the bleaching processing procedure, can improve patient's comfort level by shortening bleaching time.The method that in general, three kinds of rapid bleach teeth are arranged.First method is to improve the concentration of peroxide.Second method is the pH value that increases peroxide with alkaline matter.Alkaline matter such as sodium hydroxide make the peroxide solutions instability, therefore can make the reactivity of peroxide stronger, so can carry out discoloration fast.The third method is to come more quickly with dental bleaching by the speed that the peroxide solutions heating is improved course of reaction.Heating can promote all chemical reactions that comprises bleaching.In order to shorten the bleaching processing time, can use or expand any one or its combination in the said method.
But the physiological problem that the acceleration bleaching process brings is: the first, and when the peroxide concentrations in the bleaching liquid increased, bleaching liquid had bigger stimulation to soft tissue.The second, when the pH value in the bleaching liquid increased, bleaching liquid had bigger corrosivity to soft tissue.The 3rd, when the temperature in the bleaching liquid increases, easier soft tissue even the breaking-up tooth of burning of bleaching process.
The loss of peroxide aqueous solution is bleached the problem that exists in the processing procedure with acceleration and is promoted the dental care personnel to make dental bleaching liquid not contact soft tissue.This point for example uses rubber dam to realize by well-known method in the dentistry.Yet, at first, being accompanied by sheathed foraminous sheet rubber or the rubber dam of beating in advance on each tooth, patient's lip can painful contraction.The process of sheathed rubber dam is slowly on each tooth, and can not guarantee sheathed rubber dam to seal fully and prevent that peroxide aqueous solution is leaked on the soft tissue.In order to satisfy the patient fast and realize the demand of dental bleaching, the dentist higher bleaching liquid of working concentration of must taking a risk up hill and dale.During dental treatments,, need use up and carry out dental bleaching between 2 to 5 round-the-clocks and observe impressive progress in brightening in order to use the bleaching liquid that in essence soft tissue is not had stimulation.It will be very uncomfortable that the contraction that the patient is accompanied by cheek in the period of bleaching teeth is limited to be sitting on the tooth chair, and the cost of this dental procedure will be very expensive.
Use peroxide aqueous solution to spread upon that the method for bleaching teeth exists the problem of essence on the tooth, and recognize that these problems can impel the dental bleaching medical skill that important progress takes place.These problems can improve by add the chemical substance that can strengthen viscosity in peroxide solutions.By increasing the viscosity of bleaching liquid, bleaching liquid runs off or the ability of drippage can descend.For example (commodity on market are called " CARBOPOL for glycerol, high-molecular weight Polyethylene Glycol, pyrogenic silica, high-molecular weight polypropylene glycol, xanthan gum, hydroxy propyl cellulose and carbopol preparation ") these materials have been used substantially to increase the viscosity of peroxide solutions.
The ill-effect that contacts with soft tissue in order to reduce the bleaching gel to run off is regulated about the pH value to 7 of peroxide aqueous solution.When the concentration of peroxide reduces,, need the patient that bleaching liquid is abutted on their tooth for more time in order to obtain the whitening effect that the patient wants.This point realizes that by using a kind of dens supporter this dens supporter can make bleaching liquid fully contact with tooth and can stop bleaching liquid to run off and the contact soft tissue from tooth.
The misery contraction of using dens supporter to make bleaching liquid and tooth keep fully contacting for a long time and not needing the patient to be sitting in to be accompanied by cheek on the tooth chair.When using dens supporter to make bleaching liquid contact tooth for a long time, the peroxide of the low concentration in the bleaching liquid is fully utilized, and has therefore reduced the danger of peroxide contact soft tissue.To be an energy abut in arc shape container on the tooth with albic material to dens supporter.Dens supporter also can stop by the saliva dilution bleaching liquid in a short time and stop the consequence of swallowing bleaching liquid.
The material that is used in the enhancing viscosity in all bleaching gels at present nearly all is that (commodity are called " CARBOPOL to the carbopol preparation "), it is made by B.F.Goodrich. company.CARBOPOL Be a polyacrylic acid hydrophilic polymer that is modified, can form mass concentration in the viscous gel more than 5%.In the manufacturing of present bleaching liquid, select CARBOPOL Material is because it can make the peroxide solutions thickening, says that from this point peroxide solutions can not flow out dens supporter and can not leave tooth in other words and contact soft tissue.This makes the time lengthening that bleaching liquid and tooth fully contact, and has protected soft tissue.The use of dens supporter and viscosity bleaching liquid makes the bleaching liquid of low concentration effectively brighten patient's tooth in 1 to 2 week and patient's harm is reached bottom line.In 4 to 8 hours bleaching process, CARBOPOL Basically be unique selecteed material, be used to provide the high viscosity attribute that needs.
Pyrogenic silica be a kind of available thickening agent but it is used on the dentistry is a kind of selection of bad luck.Pyrogenic silica is indissoluble in peroxide solutions, so it only is suspended in the solution.When the silicon dioxide consumption was higher, peroxide solutions can become putty rather than viscous gel.The problem that putty brings is that it can not can not make tooth suitably brighten smooth and easy the flowing of around teeth.Silicon dioxide also absorbs peroxide solutions, has influenced the character of peroxide like this so that it is unfavorable for bleaching.Disadvantageous wick effect also can take place for peroxide solutions in silicon dioxide.When the bleaching liquid of silicon dioxide thickening is on spreading upon tooth, can be dry rapidly, well-known exsiccant peroxide does not have discoloration.Therefore can think substantially that the thickening agent of doing the dens supporter bleaching with silicon dioxide is a kind of selection of bad luck.
Also there is other natural gum can consider the thickening agent of bleaching as dens supporter.For example materials such as xanthan gum, pectin, guar gum and hydroxy propyl cellulose were considered in the past.Though natural gum is widely used as thickening agent in food industry, yet it also is a kind of selection of bad luck as thickening agent in dental bleaching.Though the natural gum of low concentration is fit to the thickening bleaching liquid, it is still soft, drips easily in the time of on abutting in tooth.The natural gum of high concentration tends to become the gel body.Gelatin is difficult for flowing and often forming bulk, has therefore limited in around teeth and has fully flowed and the ability of effective bleaching teeth.Just for this reason, natural gum is not the thickening agent of unique use in the viscosity bleaching liquid.Dentistry has concluded that substantially natural gum is not the desirable reagent of dens supporter bleaching.Other thickening agents that are used for dentistry are high-molecular weight water soluble wax, for example Polyethylene Glycol.Yet water soluble wax is not the unique thickening agent that is used for peroxide solutions, because its thickening is insufficient.Use high concentration water soluble wax, bleaching liquid is still soft and can not keep the attribute of gel.The not high easy outflow dens supporter of making by water soluble wax of bleaching liquid viscosity.Therefore, being used for the water soluble wax of thickening peroxide solutions is not the desirable reagent of dens supporter bleaching.
Compare with the shortcoming of various thickening agents, under existing dens supporter bleaching medical skill, CARBOPOL As thickening agent is optimal reagent.CARBOPOL Almost has the optimal thickening attribute that viscosity bleaching gel needs.Therefore, in the visible dens supporter albic material of all existing markets, select CARBOPOL widely As thickening agent.
Although CARBOPOL Welcome, but it also has shortcoming.CARBOPOL It is the polyacrylic acid of cross-linked polymeric.Polyacrylic acid has structure-CH 2CH (CO 2H)-.Work as CARBOPOL When in water, disperseing, cause mixed liquor to be acid.Acid mass-energy combines with the cation of inorganic substances and forms salt.The enamel that covers the human teeth outer surface is made up of alkali formula apatite calcium (Calcium hydroxy apatite).Alkali formula apatite calcium (Calcium hydroxy apatite) is a kind of crystalline material that is similar to ceramic structure.Resembling the acid mass-energy of acetic acid or Fructus Citri Limoniae acids and the calcium ion of our enamel surface forms salt and removes enamel.Well-known on dentistry is that the people that sucks citric acid is actually the most of enamel at their dental surface of acid etching.
Briefly, CARBOPOL Be a long-chain that repeats acid monomers, in the time of in being dispersed in aqueous solution, its on can acid etching tooth calcium and destroy enamel.Owing to plan to contain CARBOPOL Bleaching liquid be used for long bleaching process, make bleaching liquid contact more than a few minutes with tooth, therefore think that these bleaching liquid also can remove enamel in bleaching period of these prolongations.Think on the dentistry adamantine layer to remove tooth health for the people be deleterious and the tooth that can cause wearing and tearing causes the dental plaque point.
Contain CARBOPOL The maker of dental bleaching liquid use alkali to improve the pH value of bleaching liquid.The alkali of selecting for use has sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, triethanolamine basically.Improve the pH value of dental bleaching liquid and reduce acid degree with alkali so that minimizing removes enamel because of acid etching.Owing to known CARBOPOL More stable in acid range, the maker of nearly all dens supporter bleaching will contain the pH value of etched bleaching liquid and be transferred to 5.5-6.5.The pH value of bleaching liquid is low more, and the enamel that removes because of acid etching is many more.Long-time bleaching has just prolonged the process of acid etching.Even pH value is that 6 solution also can be removed enamel in bleaching process.
In addition, it is difficult making a collection of pH value that is consistent with dental bleaching liquid another batch.Because in dental bleaching liquid is made, for the CARBOPOL of various mean molecule quantities , the alkali that all needs to add specific quantity reaches fixed pH value.But, for maker, in each batch bleaching liquid, add the alkali of standard volume often.Therefore, even maker plans to make the pH value of bleaching liquid remain to 7, each batch bleaching liquid often also has various pH value.
Use CARBOPOL Another problem be that the polyacrylic acid of long-chain self intersects to form a ball sometimes.When this situation takes place, CARBOPOL The wetting speed of chain internal Protection part than its chain outside slowly many.This just means CARBOPOL PH value and cause dental bleaching liquid different different because of wetting time.So, CARBOPOL The pH value of bleaching liquid after making a week may be different day same day with manufacturing.The unique method that addresses this problem is that dental bleaching liquid maker is with CARBOPOL After date remake the last adjustment of pH value and makes pH value stable when bleaching liquid was preserved one section.Obviously, this operation is uneconomic.All of these factors taken together all causes each batch CARBOPOL It is difficult that the bleaching liquid of bleaching liquid and different times keeps stable pH value.
Acid etching recited above is not the sole cause that causes adamantine calcium to remove.Organic acid also can decationize by the chelating process.Carboxylic acid has with cation gives birth to salifiable affinity, and carboxylic acid is different because of cationic type to cationic this affinity.For example, carboxylic acid can form salt with alkali metal such as lithium, sodium or potassium.This affinity that forms ionic bond with alkali metal is medium, and this puts us and knows, because ionizing (dissolving) takes place in water the salt of most of organic acid and alkali metal generation.But carboxylic acid and the alkali earth metal for example affinity of beryllium, magnesium or calcium etc. are much better than.This affinity of alkali earth metal and carboxylic acid is very strong, because the salt that most of organic acid and alkaline-earth metal generate ionizing can not take place in water.Therefore organic acid is big with sodium or potassium with the bonded affinity ratio of calcium.Identical principle is applied to corona and the cemental cementation of glass ionomer.Because polyacrylic acid (still not neutralizing no matter neutralize) can react with the alkaline earth metal cation of ion leaching glass, so the corona cementation can take place.If in mixed liquor, add calcium hydroxide like this, originally generate the organic acid of sodium salt by the sodium hydroxide neutralization, can transfer to generate calcium salt.
Be dispersed in the CARBOPOL in the water If can not be settled out this polymer, just can not neutralize by calcium hydroxide.Therefore, there is not a kind of CARBOPOL Bleaching liquid is to come neutral with calcium hydroxide.Nearly all CARBOPOL Bleaching liquid is all regulated pH value with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
CARBOPOL Be to generate alkali salt or adamantine calcium salt, a competition is arranged between this.CARBOPOL The carboxylic acid alkali salt in, adamantine calcium salt has a higher binding energy relatively.Therefore, CARBOPOL The alkalescence bleaching liquid can be removed calcium from enamel by the chelating process usually.
Although CARBOPOL In the dens supporter method bleaching of tooth, can provide viscogel very effectively, but it for thirsting for more beautiful tooth, those is wasting in the negative effect aspect acid etching enamel and the chelating.The illeffects that the technology of bleaching about existing enamel relates to can be recognized from following article: " U.S.'s stomatology magazine " 291301 pages of (1) 1998 year the 2nd the 6th phase of volume of December, by Perdigao, J., " about the interactional various types of researchs between dental mastic and the use urea peroxide bleaching enamel " that et al. writes, (2) among " Braz. stomatology magazine " 7 (2) 75-79 (1996), Pinheirojunior, E.C., " illeffects of the urea peroxide gel bleach on the various human dental enamels that are used for little hard " that et al. writes, " international succinct " 39-44 page or leaf of (3) 1993 years the 24th the 1st phases of volume, Shannon, " the enamel exposure concentration is that the effect of 10% urea peroxide bleaching liquid is described " that etal writes, " basic stomatology " 84-88 page or leaf of (4) 1998 year 1-2 month, " electronic scanner microscope is for the research of bleach to the long-term adverse effect of enamel surface " that Bitter, N write.

Consult Fig. 2, it illustrates a kind of method that patient's tooth is bleached.At first, for example utilize to go up a kind of in the surface compositions and obtain or prepare a kind of dental bleaching liquid 201 that contains polyvinylpyrrolidone.The big multipotency of patient or patient's dentist obtains the dental bleaching liquid that can directly use according to Fig. 3 and method shown in Figure 5 from the pharmacists.In second step, dental bleaching liquid is placed dens supporter 202.This bleaching liquid should uniform distribution in dens supporter, and its consumption should be enough to cover the outer surface of all teeth.Dens supporter is not preferably designed for can produce any or excessive mechanical pressure to patient's tooth or gingiva.In the 3rd step, the dens supporter that will contain bleaching liquid places above the tooth that will bleach, makes bleaching liquid contact 203 with tooth.The suction that dens supporter is placed on the generation on the tooth adds that the viscosity of bleaching liquid can make dens supporter be attached on the tooth in bleaching process.Then, optionally dental bleaching liquid is stood illumination or heats 204, this is in order to accelerate the release of its oxidant such as oxonium ion.Heating can promote all chemical reactions that comprises dental bleaching.Some dentists can use up and produce heat.More operable light comprise halogen light, xenon light, plasma arc light, ion gas laser, semiconductor laser and light emitting diode.No matter use up still heating, next, dental bleaching liquid can discharge oxidant such as oxonium ion 205.When oxidant contacts with tooth, can be with dental bleaching, make the tooth blast, brighten, or remove dirt 206 on the tooth.The time that step 205 and step 206 need changes, but normally 1-8 hour.The short again and long again time also can.Use more alkaline matter or can accelerate these steps heating of dental bleaching liquid application or light.Also can accelerate these steps by the bleach that uses higher concentration.Then, dens supporter is removed 207, flushing tooth 208.If use strong bleach, this series of steps can be finished in that dental clinic is disposable.Also can divide at home several times and carry out by the patient.The patient normally carries out blanching step one time interior every day in two weeks, optionally maintains thereafter.
With reference to Fig. 3, this illustrates and dental bleaching liquid 305 is placed dens supporter 303 and dens supporter 303 is placed on patient's tooth 301.The arc 304 that dens supporter 303 has the radian with patient's tooth to be complementary closely contacts and can not make it to contact with important soft tissue 302 with patient's tooth 301 so that hold dental bleaching liquid 305 and make it.If use the peroxide bleaching of high concentration, then can use the tooth barrier, rubber protector or fluid light ripening acrylic acid (fluid light-cured acrylic barrier) baffle plate avoids dental bleaching liquid to contact with soft tissue.In general, when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide greater than 15%, perhaps the concentration of urea peroxide needs to use in addition the soft tissue protector of some type greater than 40%.Dens supporter can be elastic or inflexible, and available suitable material such as plastics or rubber are made.In dental laboratory, can be made into dens supporter, size is accurately consistent with patient's tooth, can be universal tray so that a kind of size can be fit to all teeth, or the patient by as in hot water, dens supporter heating is pressed in tooth the inside then and with own be the dens supporter that is molded as.
The single chamber injector 307 that provides has the chamber 307a that holds dental bleaching liquid.From syringe needle 307c, release the dental bleaching liquid 305 of requirement with piston 307b.The pH of the dental bleaching liquid 305 in the syringe preferably is no more than 7, otherwise bleach is before use with instability.
With reference to Fig. 4, this illustrates another kind of method of patient's tooth being carried out dental bleaching.When this method is used to use two parts dental bleaching liquid.At first, for example utilize to go up a kind of in the surface compositions and obtain or prepare two parts dental bleaching liquid 401 that contains polyvinylpyrrolidone.The big multipotency of patient or patient's dentist obtains the dental bleaching liquid that can directly use according to method shown in Figure 5 from the pharmacists.Should be noted that syringe has two chambers that hold this two parts dental bleaching liquid.The component of this two parts dental bleaching liquid must be mixed in order to using 402.In second step, mixed two parts dental bleaching liquid is placed dens supporter 403.In the 3rd step, the dens supporter that will contain bleaching liquid places above the tooth that will bleach, makes bleaching liquid contact 404 with tooth.Then, optionally dental bleaching liquid is stood illumination or heats 405, this is in order to promote the release of its oxidant such as oxonium ion.No matter use up still heating, next, dental bleaching liquid can discharge oxidant such as oxonium ion 406.When oxidant contacts with tooth, can be with dental bleaching, make the tooth blast, brighten, or remove dirt 407 on the tooth.Then, dens supporter is removed 408, flushing tooth 409.
With reference to Fig. 5, this illustrates the using method of dental bleaching liquid allotter such as dual chamber syringe 507.Dual chamber syringe 507 has the first chamber 507a and the second chamber 507b.Although also can use two dual chamber syringes that chamber volume is different,, preferably use two syringes that chamber volume is identical, this is the amount for the final mixture that is easy to measure dental bleaching liquid.Equally, injection syringe with multi-cavity chamber can be used for multicomponent bleaching liquid.In order to mix easily and effectively, these two chamber 507a and 507b also preferably contain the roughly the same gel of viscosity.Preferably when two parts bleaching liquid that comes out from two chambers mixed, the bleaching liquid 505 that obtains can have the concentration of required bleach for the oxidant that holds among the first chamber 507a such as the concentration of peroxide.The pH that contains the bleach in the chamber of bleach 507a preferably is no more than 7, so that bleach-stable.Material among the second chamber 507b comprises alkaline matter, and its pH is about 7-12.But, generally do not comprise bleach among the second chamber 507b.In two chambers or syringe that the preferred equivalent of the remaining ingredient of dental bleaching liquid exists, yet also can use the mixture of preparation in advance.
When pushing the piston 507d of dental bleaching allotter 507, the material pressurized among the first chamber 507a and the second chamber 507b is by mixing syringe needle 507c and mixing therein.This mixing makes alkaline matter contact with bleach.Because alkaline matter can make the bleach instability, and makes bleach can more effectively discharge oxonium ion.The pH value of tooth bleaching liquid 505 is preferably greater than the pH value of the dental bleaching liquid that distributes from the syringe of Fig. 3 after the mixing that obtains.
Mixed bleach liquid 505 places the arc 504 of dens supporter 503, and dens supporter 503 places on the tooth 501.This a large amount of oxidants of bleaching liquid 505 meeting rapid release that contain unstable bleach are to bleach rapidly and thoroughly tooth 501.The effect of dens supporter 503 is to make bleaching liquid 505 remain on the tooth 501 and make bleaching liquid 505 away from most of soft tissue 502.
